Yoro heats up the “Lunin case”

Only in the absence of officials and, as this newspaper was able to confirm, Leni Joro, the 18-year-old central defender who has one year left on his contract with Lille,sold to United for over €50m. Madrid skipped the operation to avoid entering into a bidding war with Manchester, but this “Varane project” that Yoro was the white entity’s priority target. that he gave the player the opportunity to reject the offer so that he could put pressure on Lille to agree a move to the Bernabeu. None of that happened. Madrid were left without a centre-back for the future and with a bad taste in their mouth as they had hoped that Yoro, represented by Jorge Mendes, put his desire to play for Madrid above the money he received from the Prime Minister, as they did Camavinga, Tshuameni, Bellingham or Endrick last time.

Operation Yoro has no direct relation to the resumption of Lunin, in no way, But there is one detail that could influence the future of the Ukrainian goalkeeper in white, or at least determine it. Lunin shares an agent with Yoro. Recently, the goalkeeper’s representation has been headed by Jorge Mendes. If a few days ago it became clear that Lunin’s extension at Real was practically a fact, now the goalkeeper himself is playing for time and thinking about how far his future is from Chamartin. Real’s relationship with Mendes does not seem the best for negotiations on a new contract at the moment either. Even after what happened with Yoro. Your case is getting very hot. And its continuity is getting complicated.

Real Madrid’s relationship with Jorge Mendes has not been at its best since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. There was a time when Jorge Mendes was one of Florentino Perez’s trusted men, as was the late Ernesto Bronzetti, the legendary Italian mediator (who previously managed Ancelotti). At the same time, Mendes brought Mourinho to the bench and Cristiano, Pepe, Coentrao, James, Di Maria and Ricardo Carvalho to Real Madrid. After Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus, these relations finally deteriorated…

Jorge Mendes: From the Omnipresent to the Inferior.

After Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, Jorge Mendes He fell into disgrace at the Bernabeu office. And his players eventually disappeared from the Real Madrid squad entirely. There are usually intermediaries or agents who work better with some clubs than others, or, if they do it often with one club, they do it less often with their arch-rivals. It was the same with Bronzetti: he did everything for Milan, but nothing for Inter.

Jorge Mendes has only appeared in connection with Madrid on two occasions recently: with Isco and Asensio. They both gave themselves over to the search for a good way out… and found it. Asensio to PSG. Things didn’t go so well for Iskowhich is what I did with it Union of Berlin and everything was ruined at the very last second, while the player was nearby, apparently and as it turned out, because the commissions for the operation were very large. In the end, he found a way out Sevilla and then Betis.
